Handplane Essentials, by Christopher Schwarz (editor of Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine at the time of publication of this book), 2009 hardcover book with the original dust jacket, published by F & W Media, printed in the United States. First edition, first printing (full number sequence present on copyright page), 312 pages, measures approximately 11 1/4" by 8 1/2" by 1" thick, black and white illustrations throughout.

I consider the book to be in very good overall pre-owned condition with the following noted flaws: 

The dust jacket shows minor creasing and curling along the edges and at the corners; very minor shelf wear to the cloth covered head and tail of the spine. The pages apear to be clean and crisp and the binding tight and square.

Please take a moment to view all photographs provided for additional representation of condition, as well as specific and unique book characteristics.

Thank you for looking!
